Fractals: The Patterns of Chaos: A New Aesthetic of Art, Science, and Nature

I liked the way this book was organized. It made the science more accessible for me, a non-mathematician and non-physicist. The photographs and visual images are phenomenal and are what drew me to this book in the first place. I particularly appreciated the 3 sections at the end that dealt with the overlap of fractals and the arts, visual arts in particular.

All pattern and colour and nothing behind it. I like very abstract art (being an artist myself) but there seemed to be no artistic sense in choosing the pictures and, seemingly without theme, it left me cold.,

The draw here is the illustrations, mostly photographs from nature, illustrating the math behind the fractals. The text was a bit dry, though, and didn't seem to do a very good job connecting things together. Still a very nice volume to flip through.
